Hello! I am done. Finished with school. Kupoot. I am so truly, very sorry that it took me such a long time to just get this chapter posted. I am on vacation in the mountains, surprisingly good reception. Enjoy the chapter, brace yourselves, the black-belt Alli is going to show. Until next time my little companions!

Chapter 16

Rose broke into a sprint towards the medical bay. Alli definitely on here, and if she was in the medical bay, something terrible must have happened.

She slid around the corner and sprinted through the door frame to find the Doctor frantically typing in instructions and plugging in tubes into a bed that was shielded in a misty blue dome. The sight she caught inside of the hazy fog made her heart clench.

Alli was thrashing her head back in forth, possibly screaming in agony but the sound seemed muted. She could see tears roll down the sides of her tormented face from her tightly shut eyes.

"What happened?!" She cried as she ran over to the bed. The Doctor seemed just as pained when he turned to her before turning back to the screen, talking over the monitor.

"I don't know, she was just laughing when all of the sudden she was just... possessed! I don't know how to describe it! I put her in a stasis field to keep as much of the pain out, but the scans doesn't show any other entity in her mind, it's like there's only one of her in there when there's obviously two."

What the Doctor saw next on the screen made him freeze. There was time vortex energy swirling around in her mind. I seemed different from last time, but it was the same energy. He had to remove it from her.

Their attention was drawn when Alli stopped shaking violently and was left panting on the bed. The restraints slacked from the lack of movement.

The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver to lower the field and unlock the restraints quickly as he ran over to her. He pocketed his screwdriver as he gently shook her shoulders. Her head rolled lazily to the side as she was too tired to keep it upright.

"Alli? Are you there? Are you OK?" He asked urgently.

"Doctor, what's going on?" Rose asked, only to be ignored.

"Uugghhh..." Alli groaned, pulling in the Doctor's attention. All these lights and noises and questions, could it just pause for a second? She couldn't get her bearings straight, her mind felt like it was made of lead. So did her eyelids, it wouldn't hurt just to close them for a second, right?

"Alli stay with me! Are you hurt?" Shouted the Doctor, shaking her out of her revere. God, can't he be quiet for a second? She thought sourly. She really didn't like this feeling, being almost drained yet heavy with energy.

Wait. Energy! God, how could she be so stupid to not think about all that extra energy she just got blasted into her? She took in a deep breath and concentrated on the buzzing information that was pooling up in the back of her head. She mentally pulled it forward and began to shiver from the cooling sensation of the time vortex and all that knowledge flowing through her, she didn't even notice when she started laughing like a maniac.

Rose didn't know what to think. This little girl had just been through indescribable pain and now was just laughing about it? And what did the Doctor mean when he said she was possessed?

Alli felt all of that knowledge she had before finally put to use. After the extended year she spent in the TARDIS with Time Vortex energy seeping through her skin, her DNA itself changed. The chemicals in her brain flowed now at a speed that allowed all that knowledge to come up to her with ease. Nearly everything about her was improved. She could feel her faster healing abilities, her extended life period, stronger muscles, higher intelligence that could rival with the Doctor himself.

Alli shot up off the bed without warning, nearly sending him flat on his back. She barely stood still for even a moment as she spun around in circles taking in all the sights. She didn't even attempt to pull back the wide smile pulling across her face as she looked back at the shocked duo.

"Rose! Oh it's so good to see you again! Thanks for that Doctor, helped a lot. Barely felt anything, well, that's a lie it really hurt. But still! Could've been worse! What was I doing before?" Alli paused for a split second, pulling in one of the book downloads on videogame creators.

"Oh! Eric Knudson created Slender in 2009, I need to pay him a visit, but first, hug!" She ran over to the Doctor and threw her arms around his waist where he stood still, full of surprise.

She pulled back and looked at him with an expectant look. "Well? What'd I miss?" There was bound to be loads of questions stampeding through their brains but their silence had all their thoughts coraled. Hopefully her question would break through their paralyzed mask.

"What happened?" Rose quietly squeaked out.

"Well, I could that question, but can you go a bit less broad? We're gonna be here for a while if I answer that." She giggled out, But her laughter died out at the somber expression played across the Doctor's face.

"What's that look for? You look like someone's died."

He shook his head as he took a deep breath, "That energy can't stay in your head, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry. I have to take it out before you burn." As he took a step forward, Alli instinctively took a step back.

Why was it that he doesn't pay attention? She could put it back herself, but the Doctor didn't know that, he would wipe her memory as well. She learned from the TARDIS what happened to Rose, but she can't lose any memories, otherwise she will burn up. All that information that was placed carefully in her mind would be all jumbled up without her memory to maintain order and break her sanity again, she has to stop the Doctor from doing something he'll regret. Even if it hurts.

"Please, stop. You don't know what you're doing! You have to trust me on this, just listen to me!" Alli began shouting. She was getting beyond worried for the Doctor if she found out what he might do.

"I have to Alli, the TARDIS can't keep you alive for much longer, and I won't let you die." He repeated in a calm voice, this would cost him a regeneration, but he had to save her. This little girl was so innocent and young, most of her life was already lost because of him, she is certainly not going to lose the rest of it.

Alli was trembling, but not from fear, from trying to suppress Luna from what she intended to do. He doesn't know! Just let me try to explain! She frantically screamed in her mind, hoping that she would hear her. She certainly did, but still was forcing herself out.

Alli was so indulged in her internal struggle that she was twitching back and forth, trying to stay in control for the Doctors sake. She didn't notice the Doctor kneeling in front of her and grip her arms, holding her in place. Alli looked up at him, and he seemed taken aback by how worried she looked.

"This won't hurt a bit, I promise." He whispered.

"Yes it will, I tried to warn you, and I'm really sorry." Her voice cracked near the end, as she looked at his confused gaze. She did try, but if he wanted her alive, then she had to let this happen.

Crack

In one swift movement, Luna suddenly punched the doctor square in the chest, causing him to hunch over in shock. She spun around and kicked him almost gracefully, right in the same spot, and nearly sent him halfway across the med bay. He landed flat on his back in a sickening thud that echoed across the reflective floors.

"Doctor!" Rose screamed once she found her voice. "What'd you do that for!? He's trying to help you!" She ran over to the Doctor who was struggling to stand up from the floor, while she shot the little girl a look. The pain radiating in the Doctor's chest made every breath he took burn.

He looked up to see Alli, no, it wasn't Alli anymore, glare unapologetically at him before twirling around and sprinting out of the room. Her long blonde hair trailing after her around the corner.

Rose wrapped her arm around the Doctor's waist to heave him up from the metallic floor. He grunted breathlessly as he stood up, "Thanks."

"What's wrong with her? Why'd she do that?" Rose asked, anger dripping from each of her words.

"That wasn't Alli Rose." He said simply. "That was the one that sent her into that seizure. I don't know what it is, but it isn't going to hurt her anymore."

He grabbed Rose's hand as they ran off in the direction of whoever was controlling Alli, determination set on his face. He mentally asked the TARDIS for help by directing them in the right way, following the lighted corridors she lit.

Luna burst through the door to their bedroom and slammed the door shut, finally coming to a panting stop. She was beyond angry, she was practically maleficent. The Doctor was being such a complete idiot, that she was surprised she didn't smack him around more.

Crack

"Why didn't just let me talk to him!? I could've got him to listen to me if you didn't keep making me twitch around like a mental patient in an insane asylum! But nooo, you had to beat him up, and make me look like a violent psychopath!"

Crack

"If I didn't he would have done the same to Rose as he did to you! You know what would have happened if I didn't stop him from wiping our memory, he would have just cost himself a regeneration and just scrambled all the work I did to keep everything from just crumbling in and burning our mind. I saved all three of us by doing that. If he wasn't such a brilliant dunderhead, he wouldn't have gotten hurt." Luna retorted.

She was very possessive over Alli she realised, well if she dies, I die. And we're both too young and pretty to die. She reasoned with herself.

Crack

"I know, it's just that I didn't want to hurt them. Did you see how angry Rose was at me? She didn't even know that it wasn't me but she still hated me when I hurt the Doctor." She spoke softly, her voice began to tremble when she recalled the malice in Rose's eyes.

Crack

"Don't. I hurt the Doctor, and for good reason, not you. He must have told Rose about our encounter by now, what use would a companion be if you didn't tell them everything? Especially if they're as close as those two."

Crack

"How can you tell?"

Crack

"Because I'm closer to you, quite literally, so I can tell when people have a thing for each other. So, they are going to be an important part of our plan."

Crack

"What plan? Why do we need a plan?" Confusion etched her face at Luna's words.

Crack

"Well come on, pay attention. We can't leave the TARDIS, we still have the time vortex in us. Second we step out of those doors, we're as good as dead. With those two running around in here looking for us, we have to come up with a plan to make them understand. The Doctor, as clever as he is, is an idiot and won't listen to us. But there is one person he listens to, Rose."

Crack

"Only problem is, how do we get those two to split up?"

Crack

Luna smiled at the idea forming in her head, "Simple, what's the one show famous for splitting up a gang?"

Crack

You could almost see the light bulb lighting up over her head before she began giggling. "Scooby Dooby Dooooooo!" Alli howled.

As the two formulated a plan, the Doctor and Rose wandered aimlessly in the infinite corridors of the TARDIS before once again, ending up in the console room for the third time. At this point, the Doctor let out a yell of frustration.

"Aaaahhh! Why? All I ask for is to just point me in the right direction, that's it! I'm just trying to save her before she burns up from all that energy that you let her take! Now that I'm trying to fix it, what do you do? Keep me from finding her, let her run around with something possessing her while she could be dying! What use is it to just-"

"Doctor." Rose intercepted his rant from continuing any further. "Calm down, we'll just have to find another way to get to her. Is there a way to stop the TARDIS from switching the corridors on us?"

"Well, yes. But that still doesn't change the fact that she could be anywhere on the ship."

Rose thought of alternative ways to find her in the massive labyrinth, drawing up a blank. "Well, how'd you find her last time?"

"Oh Rose Tyler, you are brilliant!" The Doctor grabbed the sides of her head and kissed her on her forehead. "I am so completely stupid, I'll just scan for life!" He raced over to his console and typed in the commands, too fast to notice Rose's cheeks blush.

He looked to the screen only to find the little blip of life jump back and forth across the screen. "No no no no, what are you doing? Cut that out." He smacked the side of the monitor in an attempt to freeze the blip in one spot, but it was no use.

Rose walked up next to him to see the glitching dot rebelliously jump back and forth.

"Well, that idea's no good. How about we search for her bedroom? See if any new rooms were made." She offered. The Doctor just proudly smiled at her as he followed her orders.

"Aha! There we go, come on then. Let's see if we can find her." He grabbed her hand and they set off in the direction of Alli's room.

When the two arrived, the room looked almost identical to her original bedroom door. The Doctor smirked at that little detail as he pulled open the door, stepping into what seemed to be another world. The pale blue furniture that accented the room appeared to be floating in an alien sky of changing colors and clouds. All building up to the cathedral like ceiling, reminding Rose a little bit of Hogwarts.

"Whoah." Rose breathed out, "You gotta admit, she's got style."

"Oh, I know you stole that from Harry Potter." The Doctor said, just then, a loud ding sounded from the depths of his pockets. He scrambled around in his jacket and pulled out his genetic tracker. Both him and the device lighting up like a Christmas tree.

"Oh now it works! I forgot about you." He pulled the small device up and spun around as if it was a compass. Ding. His lips stretched into an insane smile as he grabbed Rose's hand and pulled off an a new lead to the mysterious girl that was once Alli.

A/N: Teehee, Scooby Dooby Doooo! Second favorite show, next to Doctor Who of course. Plenty of time to watch all of your favorite shows now that it's summer, thank Rassilon.
